Не easily can swim across this river. — Эту реку он легко может переплыть. The dog swam to the shore. — Собака плыла к берегу.4. to sail — плавать, плыть (обыкновенно относится к плавучим средствам; в тех случаях, когда глагол to sail относится к людям, он обозначает способ передвижения на плавучих средствах): The ship sailed north. — Корабль шел па север./Корабль плыл на север.
